ask your health care provider about levemir® flexpen today. >>> okay. let's go off-the-record for just a minute. talk about changing your tune. which is really a polite way to say hypocrite. democratic senators invoking nuclear option today stripping production of their ability to block nominees through filibusters. it has been in the senate precedent for over 200 years. whether this is good or bad is their business. the senate's business and not the point of me talking to you now off-the-record. i will get to my point first. -- i will get to my point in a minute but first this. remember this 2005 when republican senators tried the same move the same stunt to invoke the nuclear option? democrats went wild with rage about how all of the nuclear option was. even accuse the republicans of a quest for absolute power. here is then senator obama leading the charge. >> that the majority chooses to end the filibuster, if they choose to change the rules and put an end to democratic debate, then the fighting and the bitterness and the gridlock will only get worse
